Chapter 296: Puzzle Solved

No matter how strong a person is on the outside, there is a soft place in his heart, and when they need comfort, they will naturally think of it first, and this soft place may be a warm family member, or a loved one, or something or something. For Krezer, the skinny old man who lived alone in a small building was the first person he thought of, and his father was only second.

Stroking Thanatos's restless body, feeling the chill of the cold scales, and looking up at the dimly lit attic, Kratzer took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the hidden door in front of him, and stepped into the place that could comfort his soul.

Walking into the small building, he walked up the stairs softly, pushed open the slightly hidden door, and Frazer looked at the thin old man sitting at the desk with a pair of glasses, and somehow suddenly had a sour nose.

"Professor, I'm back!"

As if concentrating on the things in his hand, it was not until Kraser's voice sounded in the room that the thin old man suddenly raised his head, put down his hand and had used the old quill, and suddenly noticed that it was normal, and asked with a caring face.

"Oh, you're back! Are there any dangers? How's it going, are things still going well? ”

"Hmm!" Krezer nodded heavily.

Then he took two quick steps forward, and reached out to put the slippery clothes on the old man again, as if he were afraid that he would catch a cold.

"Huh! Little one, I'm in good health, don't treat me like an old man who can't move at the age of seventy or eighty! Reaching out and patting Kraser's thick arm, the thin old man smiled kindly.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Krazer smiled innocently and scratched his head.

At this time, he showed his true side, and only in front of this old man could he completely let go of all pretense and show his truest self.

"Tell me what's going on there! Even at this time, if you have to return through the magic teleportation array, something must have happened! Looking at Krezer's honest appearance, the thin old man's heart couldn't help but warm, and the kind of family affection that he longed for but couldn't get appeared in the former's body.

Under the kind gaze of the old man, Krezer's heart that had been tense finally relaxed, here he didn't need to be vigilant, he didn't need to be wary of anyone, all he could do here was to say what was in his heart.

"Professor, this trip to Berkeley, a lot of things did happen, and I felt a lot, but I also hope that I have never been there, and if I don't go, Berkeley City will not be destroyed!"

Holding Thanatos in his arms, Kreezer reached for a chair beside his desk, his eyes fixed on the dancing candle flame, as if he had fallen into some kind of contemplation, and the self-reproach on his face grew heavier.

Seeing the changes on the former's face clearly, the thin old man didn't say anything, just took off his glasses, slowly put them on the table, his hands on his chin, and his wise eyes stared at the former's eyes full of shame, but he didn't say anything.

Krazier, who was already deep in self-reproach, did not see the old man's expression, and unconsciously stroked the scale armor of Tanatos with one hand, and continued.

"You should know the dragon that sleeps in the Jocko volcano of Ajafara!"

"Well, it's Nicholas, I know!" The old man nodded, signaling that he knew about it.

Hearing the old man's words, Krezer raised his head, as if complaining about why the old man didn't know that it was the terrible tyrant who was sleeping in the volcano, but he knew that the old man had already reminded himself that he was driven by curiosity.

"He awoke from his slumber, I woke him from his slumber to be exact!"

"Hmm!" The old man still snorted lightly, but did not say anything.

"You've probably heard the rumors that there is a goblin research institute hidden under Berkeley, and that it contains a weapon that can change a battle!" Seeing that the old man was still unmoved, Kraser said mysteriously, hoping that this incident would change the old man's expression.

But to his disappointment, the old man only nodded lightly as if he knew everything. "Hmmm! I know! ”

"That goblin lab is real, it belongs to a goblin alchemist named Hugh Hefnath, and I have seen the legendary weapon that can change a battle, but it was snatched by someone, to be exact, by a powerful organization, and the name of the one who snatched him was Tabra Kshatriya Eldegeth!"

"Eldegoth?" It wasn't until he heard this surname that the old man's face finally changed somewhat.

"Yes, do you know that surname? By the way, the Golden Thunderbolt Elder of the God of War Tribe once said that this surname belongs to a legendary powerhouse named Blood Earl! Seeing the change in the old man's face as he wished, Krazer was shocked and blurted out the news he had just heard.

"Well, I see, you go on!" The old man did not follow the meaning of his words, and spoke.

Seeing that the old man did not mean to continue, Krazer seemed to be a little lacking in interest, as if the old man seemed to know everything he said, which could not help but make him a little depressed, and remembered the terrible disaster caused in the Jocco volcano of Ajafara, and his expression was gloomy and he blamed himself.

"Because we took that weapon and activated the self-destruction mechanism of the research institute, we immediately woke up the tyrant Nicholas who was sleeping in the volcano, and I was also caught by him, but fortunately I mentioned your name, so I was lucky enough to get my life back, but those residents of Berkeley City suffered an unwarranted disaster!"

"Oh, kid, don't jump to conclusions! What you see is just what you see, what happened before, you know? There are so many volcanoes on the continent of Montimos, why did Nicholas choose to sleep in this volcano, do you know? Looking at the resentful Kreeser, the thin old man suddenly spoke, and Kreeser's eyes widened when he said something blunt.

But then the old man spoke again, and asked a rare question. "Did he take anything from you? Or did he get anything from this institute? ”

"Uh...! Yes, he took a lab manual from me! Krazer was speechless, obviously he didn't expect the old man to suddenly say such a sentence, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help but ask. Do you know something? ”

"Go on! What to know, I'll let you know! But after hearing Krazier's inquiry, the old man did not answer directly, but only raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"After the destruction of Berkeley, I fled to Conyounis City, that is, not long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting the Ice Emperor of the Don Quixote family, and he asked me to bring you a message, he said that the agreement with you has been fulfilled, and he is going to do his own thing!"

After saying this, Krazer looked at the thin old man with blazing eyes, and held his breath nervously, for fear of hearing a word from his mouth, because from the mouth of the Ice Emperor, he knew that the old man in front of him should be the strongest person of the human race who was called the one who controlled it, and the legendary-level magic saint of the light system, even if he was called the strongest person in the continent.

"yes, I see!" Hearing this, the thin old man just nodded, didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

Hearing this answer as he wished, Kraser's heart was not happy, his heart was filled with a faint sense of loss, an indescribable feeling haunted his heart, thinking about it, even if they had lived together for nearly twenty years, they only knew the life of this thin old man, whether he had any family, and everything around him suddenly did not know, didn't he have been living in a lie, could his feelings also be false?

For a moment, Krezer's mind was chaotic, like a thunderclap in his mind, and even the stroking of his hands stopped, and he looked up blankly at the old man who was leaning back against his chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Answer! He just wanted to know why! But I didn't dare to ask, for fear of losing this beauty!

Infected by this emotion, the two of them sat quietly in place, and the quiet atmosphere became more and more heavy, even if there was no sound, it made the lively and active Tanatos lie quietly in Kreze's arms, not daring to move, for fear of annoying the two people in the room.

Time passed little by little, but there was no tiredness and impatience on Kreser's face, some were just stubborn, and after a while, a sigh suddenly sounded in the room, as if helpless, as if emotional!

"Alas, my child, there are things that you don't understand now! Not knowing my true identity is a protection for you! ”

But Krazer is a stubborn neck, putting on a look like you are talking nonsense, no wonder the former is like this, after all, this thin old man is the strongest person in the mainland, that kind of undefeated prestige, who would dare to stroke his tiger beard!

Slowly opening his eyes, the old man's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness, looking directly at the former's stubborn face, and he couldn't help but have another face in his mind, a face similar to Krezer's.

"My identity is a kind of aura, this aura is a supreme glory, but also a goal that cannot be hidden, there are countless opponents in my life, among them there are bright and upright people, it is difficult to protect the despicable character of some people!"

"They can't do anything about me, they can't hurt me in the slightest, so their eyes will be on the people around me, my relatives, my students, everything I care about, will become the target of their revenge!"

"Do you know that over the years, I have almost no students? Don't I want to take students! No, I'd like someone to pass on the lessons I've worked so hard to learn over the centuries, but unfortunately they're all dead, some seem to have died in magical accidents, some seem to have died on the way to adventure! ”

In short, on a casual day, maybe it's a refreshing morning, maybe it's a pleasant afternoon, maybe it's a busy day's evening, maybe it's a sleeping dream, you will always get the worst news you don't want to hear! Can you feel that? ”

The old man's words, Krazer was dumbfounded, he would never have thought that such a thing would happen, how could he have come into contact with these dirty things hidden in the dark at his age!

Now his face was hot, just now he actually doubted the old man's feelings for him, he himself even doubted the feeling of family affection with the old man, how could this not make him feel ashamed, for a while Krazer lowered his head in shame, and even wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Kratzer looked up sharply, as if to ask for credit. "Professor, the weapon was stolen, but I got the blueprints for it!"

As he spoke, Krazer waved his hand, and two things suddenly appeared on the table, a heavy book of inheritance and an unknown animal skin.

"Look, it's just a design drawing, but it's all marked in the language of the goblins, and I can't read a word!"

Standing in front of the desk, Kratzer stretched out his hand and pushed the unknown animal skin in front of the old man, as if he had to wait, waiting for the praise of the old man.

But when the old man picked up the blueprint on the table, he looked at it carefully, as if he had forgotten about Krezer.
